Hi all, My 2002 Disco TD5 (auto) has been playing up for a while now. Going up hills, pulling away at roundabouts, etc when it's up in full speed it's fine but it's sooo slow to pull away at slow speeds or up hills. Today, took over 2 seconds for it to start to pull away at a roundabout ( busy...

Hi guys, the mirrors on both the passenger side and drivers side seem a bit shakey when driving along (model 2002 TD5 ES). How can prize open the panels (by the windows) from the inside without damaging them and is the correct way of going about to try and find the problem? Cheers Al

Hi all, I've two Disco's 300 TDI & TD5 both E.S. but unfortunately the seats are getting to look quite worn. What I need to to do is either re polish or re paint them, problem is that Land Rover doesn't stock any repair/ touch up paint for the seats. Any idea where I might be able to get some...

Hello again, I've been trying to get a couple of replacement headrests in decent condition for my 300 TDI Disco (see pic) as well as a plastic bit for the rear middle which the kids ripped off from my Mk 2 TD5 Disco. Land Rover won't sell these seperately and I haven't seem them on e bay. Any...

Hi guys, the tale of woe continues with my Disco (Mk 1, 300 TDI). Yesterday after putting my dog in the back and bombing along the back roads I turn the corner and my tailgate door swings wide open, luckily the dog stays in but still gave me a bit of a shock. Needless to say there's something...

Morning all, Not too sure about the battery in my 2002 TD5 Disco. It was off the road for a good 5 months, charged the battery for a good couple of days, popped it back in and all ok. When taking it for it's MOT the garage left the lights on for a few hours hence run down the battery again:mad...

The damn clutch fork was at fault...all sorted know though !! BUT the speedo is now knackered, no life at all. I reckon I must have crushed one of the wires when I raised the gearbox, from what I remember there were two or three coils containing wires above the bellhousing, maybe one of them has...

Morning all, I've been doing some work on my car (Disco 300) for a couple weeks and I've noticed that there is a pool of clear oil by the the passenger wheel and I reckon it's coming from the steering reservoir/ hose, I say this because it's absolutely sopping. I assume I first check the the...

Dot 4 it is, thanks guys !

Hi guys, I'm popping off to Halfords after lunch to buy some clutch fluid. It's for a Disco 300 (Diesel, S reg), can I buy straight off the shelf or is there a special sort I should use? Cheers Al

Yes it would help I suppose, It's a 1998 Discovery (S reg) 300. The wires are black and green (I reckon there are two shades on one of them light green and dark green). Any ideas? Cheers Al

Hello all, before I put the gearbox back on (new clutch fork) I'm curious as to where this switch goes to. About a year and a half ago I changed the clutch and afterwards up pops the diff warning light and the speedo stoped working. From what I can tell they're connected somehow and I just...

Cheers, thanks for that !

got one on order...hope it comes soon. How about sticking on the new donut on the rear prop any advice you can give before I start? Cheers Al

Right then, bell housing apart and tonight I'll put in the new clutch fork :) (hope this is the easy bit ...) and push the gearbox back into place, do I need to use gasket sealant between the bell housing and how about exhaust where it connects to the engine ( I still have the original metal...

Diamond bloke, cheers !

Okay, I'm getting the picture it can only fit one way (leaving the hammer out of it...) The rubber donut then, it only looks like removing four bolts and slapping on a brand spanking new one. If only that easy. Btw, I'm having trouble taking of the front props, a 14 mm socket and spanner should...

Thanks for the reply, I made marks with tippex on where it connects to the car but pulling it off as said the spline popped out. Question is how can I tell where the exact slots that the splined shaft connected to the splinned sleeve originally...if I understand correctly Cheers Al

Taking off the props on my Disco 1 300, and while pushing and shoving the spline popped out on the rear one. Is it a case of just popping it back in and making sure the seal is okay...or is it more complicated? Also there are cracks in the rubber donut, it looks like any easy job, is there...

Cheers guys, I'll try these ideas first....when it stops raining
